| 2021-06-16 | Gemma Broomfield | | Says I have 12,000 words in my doc when I've got over 44,000...not sure how it can be so wrong when the correct word count sits hiding in the tools taskbar... | |

| 2021-02-20 |  | | Not very functional. Count is completely off. It claims my document is exactly a thousand words shorter than it actually is. Have checked the document in google docs and exported it to a .doc file to check it in Word, and they both say 17,020 where this says its 16,020. What's more, I can't see the actual real time word count bubble on the side. All I see is "s in document". I have to resize my window just to catch a quick view of it. The milestone counts every 500 words are visible, but the real time bubble won't stay on the page. I've even tried multiple views and modes in Google Docs and even tried taking my rulers off and everything, but nothing works. Not very good. | |
